Coming Together Sculpture San Diego Convention Center

All Pictures taken 26 December 2008

This 2001 sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle has very '60s feel to it.  It is a sculpture that I see often with my walks with Charlie.  Sonjiala, my wife has been going through some things from her child hood.  You can read about them at He Molested Me .com.  I believe that her writing there has been some of her best.  One of the themes I get from reading her recent writing is that to be complete we must unite our pain and pleasure.  We can't exclude any part of us if we are going to be whole. 

Walking Figures by Magdalena Abakanowicz

Pictures taken 26 San Diego 

This sculpture is a loaner.  So, see it as soon as you can your might miss it.  It was sculpted by Magdalena Abakanowicz.  Generally she places these sculptures more randomly where the figures are walking in different directions.  But this was not conformist enough for the Unified Port of San Diego  (really no joke).   So these figures march San Diego style, in formation.

Breaking the Chains by McIvin Edwards

This large brushed steel sculpture by McIvin Edwards is located on Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade near the Convention Center and Children's Museum. It is directly opposite the Convention Center Trolley Stop on the Orange Line. It often provides shelter to the homeless. Children and drunks often climb the chain.
